Answer:

Cost of units completed = $176,528

Workings are attached:

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of production

An equivalent unit of production is an expression of the amount of work done by a manufacturer on units of output that are partially completed at the end of an accounting period. Basically the fully completed units and the partially completed units are expressed in terms of fully completed units.

Equivalent units are used in the production cost reports for the producing departments of manufacturers using a process costing system. Cost accounting textbooks are likely to present the cost calculations per equivalent unit of production under two cost flow assumptions: weighted-average and FIFO.

Conversion costs

Conversion costs is a term used in cost accounting that represents the combination of direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs. In other words, conversion costs are a manufacturer's product or production costs other than the cost of a product's direct materials.

Expressed another way, conversion costs are the manufacturing or production costs necessary to convert raw materials into products.

The term conversion costs often appears in the calculation of the <u>cost of an</u> <u>equivalent unit in a process costing system.</u>

For the sake of this question, we will be determining the <u>equivalent units of production:</u>

  • Units completed and transferred subject to material and conversion costs
  • Units in the closing inventory subject to material and conversion costs
  • We will then calculate the cost per units with respect to material and conversion costs for the equivalent units.
  • These cost per units will enable us to determine the cost of items completed.

Classify each cost as being either variable or fixed with respect to the number of units produced and sold.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are primarily two types of costs, i.e. variable costs and the fixed costs. The variable cost is the cost that varies when the level of output changes, while the fixed cost is the cost that remains constant whether the level of production changes or not. The variable cost includes indirect inventory, indirect labor and factory supplies.

And, the fixed cost includes supervision, taxes ,and depreciation expense.

As we know that, the product cost would be a mix of Direct materials cost +  Direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost

where,

Manufacturing overhead = Factory utilities + Factory machinery depreciation + Factory building property tax + Indirect factory work + Indirect materials + Factory repairs + Factory manager salary

And, the selling and administrative cost is the cost which is incurred for selling the product. example - advertising, etc

So, the categorization is shown below:

1. Hamburger buns in a Wendy's outlet. = Variable and product cost

2. Advertising by a dental office.  =  Fixed and Selling and Administrative cost

3. Apples processed and canned by Del Monte.  = Variable and product cost

4. Shipping canned apples from a Del Monte plant to customers.  = variable and Selling and Administrative cost

5. Insurance on a Bausch & Lomb factory producing contact lenses.  = fixed and product cost

6. Insurance on IBM's corporate headquarters.  = fixed and Selling and Administrative cost

7. Salary of a supervisor overseeing production of printers at Hewlett-Packard.  = fixed and product cost

8. Commissions paid to automobile salespersons.  = variable and Selling and Administrative cost

9. Depreciation of factory lunchroom facilities at a General Electric plant.  = fixed and product cost

10. Steering wheels installed in BMWs. = variable and product cost

Joshua borrowed $500 on January 1, 2017, and paid $25 in interest. The bank charged him a service charge of $15. He paid it all
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The Annual Percentage Rate or APR for short is calculated by dividing the finance cost by the total amount borrowed in the following manner,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed.

To calculate the Finance charge we add the interest and the service charge.

Finance charge = 25 + 15

= $40

Back to the APR formula we will have,

APR = Finance Charge / Amount borrowed

APR = 40/500

= 0.08

APR is 8%.

The basic difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics is: In a command economy, the __________ either makes most econom
Novay_Z [31]

Question 2 options are;

- government

- market

- firm

- business sector

Answer:

1. microeconomics concentrates on the behavior of individual consumers and firms, while macroeconomics focusses on the performance of the entire economy.

2. government.

Explanation:

1. Indeed, the government in a command economy (like China) makes most economic decisions itself or at least strongly influences how the decisions are made.

2. We note that the word 'macro' indicates large scope, while 'micro' indicates a smaller scope. And so, the difference is that microeconomics concentrates on the behavior of individual consumers and firms, while macroeconomics focusses on the performance of the entire economy.

Having some clients who are less knowledgeable about investing and seem to be more trusting of their firm, the management of a f
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is b) a Ponzi scheme.

Explanation:

The Ponzi Scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves paying investors interest obtained from the money of new investors (and not from the generation of genuine profits). It is a pyramidal system, in which the only way to share benefits requires that participants recommend and capture (refer) to more clients with the objective that new participants produce benefits to primary participants.

This system does not invest in financial or other instruments, it only redistributes money from some investors to others, so the system works only if the number of investors in the pyramid continually grows; once people stop entering the "business", the scammer is prevented from fulfilling his promise and the pyramid collapses

g Compare and contrast a four Ps approach to marketing versus the value approach (creating, communicating, delivering and exchan
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The 4Ps are Product, Pricing, Promotion, Place.

Explanation:

Thinking about it carefully, one would note that there is really nothing to contrast between the value approach which is Creating, Communicating, Delivering and Exchanging Value.

Let's make the comparisons:

  • Products and Services are Created. It's impossible to have a product or service that is not created.

The inherent quality of a Utility or Product or Service is that they are value which is Created. So in describing the marketing approach, one can use both interchangeably.

  • Pricing vs Exchanging Value

Again there is a parallel here. Price is the value you have put on your product or service. Without price, it's difficult to exchange value. Again in the marketing process/approach, it's difficult to separate the two. In both approaches, pricing and Exchanging Value as steps in the marketing approach can be used interchangeably.

  • Communicating vs Promotion

This is also another parallel. Promotion is simply another way to communicate the value of your product. Both are really not different.

  • Delivering Value vs Place

Place under the 4 Ps approach speaks to the location where the product is delivered. Again it's clear to see that both cannot be separated.

In conclusion, assuming all factors are the same and held constant between two companies A and B, if company A follows the 4Ps approach and company B follows the Value approach, they are most likely to arrive at the same results.

Cheers!
